00:00We have tried to make some changes in this matter.

00:03Alhamdulillah, we have cooperated from the top,

00:06including the Ministry of Finance,

00:09to ensure that the management of finance is good.

00:13I cannot deny the steps taken by several senior officials.

00:18But there are a few things that we have to pay attention to.

00:22First, our suggestion to reform

00:28is not yet implemented.

00:31Both in the government,

00:34in the legal body,

00:37and in the government companies.

00:41Greeks.

00:44Sometimes people think that the settlement is a bribe

00:49and they sometimes show off their wealth

00:53from the people's funds,

00:55the state's funds.

00:57That is why the monitoring must be more thorough.

01:01I have decided recently

01:04for the Ministry of Finance

01:06and the government as a whole

01:09to form a committee

01:13on two things.

01:15The committee on the reform and rationalization

01:19of legal bodies.

01:21Because there are too many legal bodies

01:24and they are high.

01:26And it is difficult to rationalize

01:31which means it needs to be reduced

01:33and tidied up.

01:35And there is a lot of expenditure.

01:37Spending is out of control.

01:39If you appoint a new minister,

01:41the first thing to pay attention to

01:43is the type of car,

01:45the department to be changed.

01:47Even though the department is already beautiful.

01:50The Ministry of Finance, PM.

01:53That is why I said

01:56there is no need to change it.

01:58There is no need to move it.

02:00But sometimes we forget.

02:02This is the meaning of

02:04taklifun wala tashrif.

02:06So I want the spirit of independence

02:08to be meant

02:10by seeing the people

02:12rising up, waiting

02:14for hours and nights

02:16to welcome the love of the state

02:18and to give trust

02:20to those who hold

02:22power.

02:24The political leaders,

02:26the public officials,

02:28who are elected

02:30only do their jobs

02:32well.

02:34The majority are good,

02:36but they are deceived by the few.

02:38That is why it is necessary

02:40to rationalize the state.

02:42It will move now

02:44and will continue to act

02:46and I will inform

02:48so that we can get full cooperation

02:50from the PM.
